Lincoln's Scorn of a Lie.
St. Louis GLohe. Democrat.


In his law practice on the Wabash
circuit, he was noted for his unswerv-
ing honesty. People learned to love
him ardently, devotedly; and jnries
listened intently, earnestly, receptive
ly, to tue sad-faced earnest man. He
was never accused of bribery nothing
could move him when once his resOlu-
tions were formed. There was moth
ing scholarly in his speeches, and he
always rested his case on its merits,
only asking for simple Western JUS
tice and the texture of the man was
such that his very ungainliness was in
his favor before pioneer jury. His
face always wore a sweetened and
kindly expression, never sour; and
burning to win them, his tall frame
swaying as a pine, made him resist
less pleader.
L remember one case of his decided
honest trait of character. 1t was
a case in which he was for the defend
ant. Satisfied of his clients innocence,
it depended mainly on one witness.
That witness told on the stand under
oath what Abe knew to be lie, and no
one else knew. When he arose to
plead the case, he said "Gentlemen,
uOpCHucu OIL bnlS WlCuoSS TO Clcitr my
client. He has lied. | ask that no
attention be paid to his testimony.
Let his words be stricken out if my
case fails. L do not wish to win in this
way" His scOrn of lie touched the
jury; he. laid his case before them
magnificently, skillfully, mastery, and
won in spite of the lie against him.
From such work came his "HOnest
Aber
L never knew Abe to have coat to
fit him all were ill-fitting but under
meath was big, hot heart, that could
adjust itself to all humanity. He had
at his tongues end the little items
that makes up the humble world of
the pioneer farmer. Once at hotel,
in the evening, during court, lawyer
said "Our case is gone; when Lin
coin quit he was crying, the jury was
crying, the judge was crying, and
was a little damp about the laslses my
self. We might as well give the case
up"

HOW THE BULL AVENGED THE
CALF.

Harry Stever, the twelve year-old son
of Farmer DelOs Stever, of Tobyhan
ma, was sent after the cows last Mon
day, about shutdown. He had to 90
down the road and through lane
more than half mile from the house.
When milking time came the cows had
not arrived, and Farmer Stever, who
had just driven home from the village,
started toward the pasture in search of
them. On his way through the lane
he heard terrible believing over in
the pasture.
When he reached the pasture he saw
the cattle with their heads and tails up
and believing as though they were in
great distress about something. Farm
er Stever hurried toward the spot,
yelling "Harry" with all his might.
"Here l be, pa, up in this tree. A
BEARS killing one of the calves, and
had to get up here out o. the way
said Harry, from his safe perch among
the limbs of IA small maple tree.
In the centre of the ring of cows
Farmer Stever found things just as
Harry had told him. A big bear had
come into the field, seized small cali
and crushed it to death, just as Harry
was about to start the cattle for home.
The lad climbed up the tree and the
cows began to below. When Farmer
Stever rushed in among the noisy herd
the bear was eating the calf as fast as
he could. Farmer Stever excitedly
sprang forward and kicked the bear i'm
the side. He regretted it a second lat
er, for the hungry animal turned upon
L., Il Ii FL,
blow from one of his paws. The farm
er Immediately took to his heels, and,
after growing at the farmer, the bear
returned to his meal In lot adjOin-
ing the COW pasture, Farmer Stever
kept fve-year-Old bull away from
the rest of the herd. The bull was
paving up the earth and believing like
a wild beast when the farmer ran from
the bear. Every now and then the
bull tried to get over the fence. He
tried to lift the top rail off with his
horns, bat heavy stones had been plac-
ed on them to keep the wind from
blowing the rails away, and the bull
was unable to move them. Farmer
Stever was trying to think what to do,
when Harry yelled from the tree:
Spa Con let the bull out and see
if he won't go fur the bear"
The lads suggestion struck the farm
er and he ran over to the fence, threw
off the stones and tore off the top rail.
The bull leaped into the pasture, and,
believing with rage, ran toward the
noisy herd, with his tail in the air and
his head lowered. The cows separated
as he plunged forward, and gave him
a chance to get at the beast. The mo-
ment the bnll got glimpse of the bear
he seemed wild with fury. With a
terrific roar he rushed at the bear,
struck him squarely in the right side
with both of his horns, and knocked
him three or four feet away from the
carcass of the calf.
The bear was partially stunned by
the blow, but he staggered to his feet
ajnst as the bull came upon him again.
The bear undertook to defend himself,
but the bull gave him another thump
in the ribs, making the blood run.
Then the bear tried to run away, but
the bull followed him up and gor
ed him; and minute later the bull
got the bear down and gored him to
death.
